Choosing to work at the 140bpm tempo when a lot of his contemporaries are choosing to slow down to a more subdued house-y pace has repeatedly given Joe the space to carve out his unique rhythm patterns, and the fact that there are never really more than four or five composite parts going on in any track at once really does enable you to hone in on the interplay between his drums and the bass line. As a result, listening to one of his records loud is a physical thing; somewhat hypnotic in pressure, they're all built for big rigs set in enclosed spaces.
